Dear Dace, dear colleagues,

Unfortunately, we can only confirm that there is no legal bases to say nicotine cannot be added to tobacco products.

Which category would you place herbal nicotine sticks (heated product)?

Kind regards,

Dear colleagues,

I hope that some of the EU-CEG data processors or colleagues from JATC2 WP5 or WP6 can share national opinion!

I also ask question in Forum on October, 2023

Do you accept the fact that heated tobacco, notified via EU-CEG, can contain nicotine in addition to tobacco?

I think they should be filed under the "Other" item category!

Unfortunately, I don't find any legal justification that nicotine cannot be added to tobacco products!

For example, brands HEECHI and LEME:

I would also appreciate it if you could forward it to someone from your member state who can give an opinion or send me contacts where I can ask.

Kind regards,
